Just You & Me, Babe_10 x 8 inch Oil, Still Life

This was just a little challenge to myself, an exercise in opposites:  reds, pinks and greens.
I like challenging myself to do glass and reflected objects as well.
This one was fun to do the green dots on the pink fabric as seen through the green glassware.
~
Below are a few steps along the way
My first challenge to myself was to get the drawing just right.

 ~
The second challenge was to mix and apply just one color at a time.
One color, then one stroke.
Then, on to another area of the painting.
One color, then one stroke.

Once a few local colors were established, the next step was to
start finding and applying "mixes" of the two complimentary colors:
reds and greens. Then, I started a bit of blending.

Have fun!

Touch of Pink, 5 x 7 oil, still life

Touch of Pink © Donna Pierce-Clark ~ Stages of Touch of Pink ~ First the drawing.....    ~ Then, the initial paint-in, just shapes and colors. ~ Then highlights and sparkles and dots! ~ On to the large easel........ ~ ~ Above is my large studio easel, on which I have started a 24" x 36" canvas in oils. We traveled to Rainbow Bridge on a river cruise several years ago and this canvas was actually begun soon after that trip. I think this poor canvas has been neglected for at least 3 years!  I am so happy to be back to this painting.  Below, you can see a few later stages of development and the photo reference on the computer monitor, from which I paint.  Ideally, I would prefer to be painting on location;  but, I'm happy to use the computer monitor for now. ~ To the left of the easel, I also have a still life table. If I am doing a large still life, I'll use this set up and the larger easel. At this time, howev
